Sources said police responded to the shootout situation faster. However, Sandhya Gashti (Patrolling team) has to be further improvised in Chainpur said the assistant superintendent of police Rishabha Garg.
The assistant superintendent of police Rishabh Garg said police have learnt that the two injured Kamlapuris were out to defuse the brawl but it was an irony of the situation that they were aimed at the shootout because they are related to the wine shop owner Binay Kamlapuri with whom the two Sonis were having altercations.
Sources said the Chainpur police have beefed up the security in Chainpur.
